Classical music sounds like a good idea, but most likely the combined noise of all the teams in the pit would drown it out.
I work on the team animation so the stress period comes a week or two earlier, and after that barely any. The main source of my stress stems from completing and submitting the animation on time.
For the other areas of the team, I'd say attempting to complete/fix 'bot in the pit is the main cause of their stress... Feeling nervous before driving is perfectly normal, preferred in fact over *not* being stressed at all, because it shows that the person actually cares about performing well.
